no problem heres the chap with the collets and bushes. he doesnt seem to know much regarding the various models but said if my router has the large brass nut on the bottom(which it does)then it wont take the half inch collet :( . http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWAX:IT

thanks fella you mention your collets broke there is a chap on ebay sells the replacement collets(1/4 and 3/8 and 1/2inch) on ebay as well as replacement bushes if you need any. can you or anyone tell me if theres any reason why i couldnt rig up a speed control to it?thanks

haha yes i like it to,im having a nice aly mount made for it the companys listed in peterborough but they never answer the phone theres no website, they advertse as sellers of woodwork machinery.. does anyone know anything about them?other than they used to be called centec. like to know how old...

i know there old these watford routers and i cant imagine any one useing one nowadays. but i would like some info on the one in the pictures i have. does anyone know its age?or remember useing them years back? the thing looks bomb proof,not as loud as i expected and im seriously considering...

thanks for the reply i was also trying to find out who makes them and came across these sears craftman routers they come in redtop as well as black and grey but the caseing looks the same. http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00917543000P

hello bsm i did consider them for a time but wasnt sure how they would cope id be giving it some heavy use on weekends through various hardwoods. then theres the collet size. what model are you useing and what are you cutting with it?.

hows the router doing rm?i need a round bodied router for a diy cnc project i keep coming back to these as theres nothing else in the uk 240v. other than laminators which are too small for what i need. like said its the name thats putting me off and yours is the first review ive come across.
